Call for Open Studios Volunteers:
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR OPEN STUDIO 2025
The MFA students are hosting Open Studios on Wednesday
March 19th to coincide with the Studio Art Lecture.
The speaker this year is Candice Hopkins who is a citizen
ofCarcross/TagishFirst Nation and lives in Red Hook, New York.
Her writing and curatorial practice explore the intersections of
history, contemporary art, and Indigeneity. She is Executive
Director and Chief Curator of ForgeProject, Taghkanic, NY. She
was the Senior Curator for the inaugural 2019 and 2022 editions
of the Toronto Biennial of Art and part of the curatorial team for
the Canadian Pavilion at the 58th Venice Biennale; documenta
14, Athens and Kassel; andSakahàn: International Indigenous
Art, National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa.
This exciting event draws people from all over to attend the
lecture and visit the studios of the MFA graduate students and a
group of Capstone undergraduate students.
This big day is fast approaching, and we need the help of
volunteers to make it happen. Volunteering will not only give you a
chance to build your resumé and contribute to school life, but you
will also receive some swag and goodies to show our gratitude!
We are looking for 20 volunteers. Your duties will include greeting
and guiding guests and visitors around campus, to the lecture hall
and studio spaces, and help with setup or takedown of signage. A
few people will look after studios when MFAs or Capstone
students need to leave their space briefly for breaks. Specifics on
timing and hours for the Open Studio event are detailed in the
Volunteer Form.
There will be a one hour training session and tour of the MFA
studios before the event on March 14th. Volunteers have the
option of attending a morning or afternoon session that works
around your class schedules. Volunteers will mainly be working in
a group of two people so you can sign up with a friend and make
a day of it! Or meet new friends!
This is a great opportunity to connect with the grad students, the
University community, and the art community at large. More
information about the studio art Lecture and Open Studios can be
found on the SOFAM website and @guelphmfa Instagram.
To sign up, please email Stephanie at fortin@uoguelph.ca to
request a volunteer sign up form.
Thank you!
